Political Entrepreneurship

This is a story about a business started by a couple of politically-minded, entrepreneurial young men. No, I'm not talking about Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and their attempts to blend their left wing politics with their business. We've heard about that for years.

This story is about a couple of recent graduates from James Madison University who decided to start a right-leaning business called Bush Country Ketchup.

"While dunking our freedom fries in ketchup a few months ago, we came to a sudden realization. With each drop of ketchup we ingested, bottled by a company whose single largest individual shareholder is the wife of the Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry, we were indirectly making his wallet fatter. Bush Country Ketchup was created so "right-thinking" Americans could once again enjoy this condiment on our burgers and fries without the guilt associated with enriching an individual whose aspirations and goals are so clearly wrong for our country."

Hopefully these young men can stay true to their beliefs and not sell out like Ben and Jerry did.
